go front strut bar and sway bars.... front and back.... even with stand springs and shocks, you will still easily out manevour most cars....

you trying to get me broke?! :)

you keep giving me ideas to add more mods to the car, probably end up doing a RB25DET engine transplant and a T88 and nos.... :headspin:

yeh but dont forget exhaust...will be lower than your standard one

not really benny boy... max piping size for NA should only be 2.25 inch catback and muffler size is almost same as stock....

you go anything more than 2.25, you will lose back pressure.... less torqy....

i would go handling first..... no point spending thousands to squeeze a few more KWs outa the car...

awesome handling makes you a better driver...

I've got a twin cannister 3.5" exhaust sitting in the garage :)

ya, I'm going for tyres first Glenn costing me a butt load too.... almost half my uni tuition.

can sometimes even be just be the gaskets or rubber mountings.. gaskets are like $2.50 to replace

where can i get this checked out? at a normal garage???

yup.. not cheap..

krawler: no.. they're just spring and shock setup.. i sold my old set for $200, they were sitting around for ages

Doesnt coil over simply mean the coil is over the shock?

Meaning that most cars are coil over factory.. The term coil over is normally targetting adjustable gear though.

i know... It was on the NA, but got it taken off for compliancing.. and power loss.

now i'm stuck with a stupid rattle.

get 2 jacks and a creepboard.... rip out the heat shield....

if not the heat shield... hammer the resonator gently to check for rattling...

i think the difference is.. with coilovers, the shock is actually welded to the bottom of the spring, and they are basically one unit and cannot be separated. Most things can be adjustable.

With a spring and shock setup the springs and shocks can be separated and changed independently. In that setup you can adjust the shock, but not the actually spring height or anything like that.

    • If you are fine with China turbos, Maxpeedingrods makes a bolt on turbo. Ive had mine for two summers now and it seems to be holding up ok. 
    • Howdy all Im in a little predicament and wondering what everyone’s thoughts are? I’ve had my long block rebuilt and am in the market for a turbo due to my old one having metal shavings from crank bearings (cause of rebuild) go throughout the turbos oil lines and there wheel has a little play. I’m not really aiming for any power, just trying to keep it as oem as possible, but I can’t find a turbo that’s built for the stock ecu or find something that would be a standard replacement. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions 
    • How's everyone going? Just a shout-out introducing myself. I'm James, I live on the north side of Brisbane. I bought an R33 that had been left to rot in someone's front yard for 14 years. Apparently, it has immobiliser/fuel issues. Long story short, it's suffering from a seized engine, plus whatever else turns up once it runs. The car is pretty good considering it sat for so long. It pretty much died after being imported. It has a bunch of Jap parts and a full Top Secret body kit. It's painted Fiat Turchese Festival, or aqua blue if you're not French. Another project to throw money at!
    • So the clockspring is responsible for the indicators cancelling on their own? I thought that was the function of that white thing in the center (any idea what it's called?)
    • Can you log IAT? Whilst WTA coolers have their place, doing any sort of sustained run is not one of them There are fixes that slow down the heat soak, like ice boxes, which don't last that long, and interchillers, which are fairly expensive, up grades to the WTA cooling radiator, which may require a bigger pump, and upgrades to the reservoir size,  and upgrades to the cooling fans, but, it all still heat soaks, and takes ages to come down in hot weather  For a turbo, that isn't locked into WTA like my PD blower is, can you not possibly swap to a nice air to air intercooler????, it would be better for sustained runs then, and have alot less things that could go wrong in my opinion
